Preservation of Earth-forming events in the tungsten isotopic composition of modern flood basalts
(Science, 2016)
How much of Earth's compositional variation dates to processes occurring during
16 planet formation remains an unanswered question. High precision W isotopic data for rocks from two large igneous provinces, the North ...
High-Precision Tungsten Isotopic Analysis by Multicollection Negative Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry Based on Simultaneous Measurement of W and 18O/16O Isotope Ratios for Accurate Fractionation Correction
(ACS Publications, 2016-01-11)
Determination of the 182W/184W ratio to a precision of ±5 ppm (2σ) is
desirable for constraining the timing of core formation and other early planetary
differentiation processes. However, WO − ...
In search of late-stage planetary building blocks
(Elsevier - Chemical Geology, 2015)
Genetic contributions to the final stages of planetary growth, including materials associated with the giant Moon forming
impact, late accretion, and late heavy bombardment are examined using siderophile elements. Isotopic ...
Widespread tungsten isotope anomalies and W mobility in crustal and mantle rocks of the Eoarchean Saglek Block, northern Labrador, Canada: Implications for early Earth processes and W recycling
(Elsevier - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2016)
Well-resolved 182W isotope anomalies, relative to the present mantle, in Hadean–Archean terrestrial rocks have been interpreted to reflect the effects of variable late accretion and early mantle differentiation processes. ...
